I'm giving a wedding speech and I want it to be genuinely funny AND moving — not the cringe AI default. Help me draft it.
ROLE: {best_man / maid_of_honor / father_of_bride / friend / etc.}
MY RELATIONSHIP TO THE COUPLE: {how_you_know_them_and_for_how_long}
ABOUT THE PERSON I'M TOASTING (the friend, not the spouse): {3-5_real_specific_things_about_them — not 'they're funny and kind'}
ABOUT THEIR PARTNER: {what_you_genuinely_noticed_changed_or_is_great_about_them_together}
A STORY I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE (raw and specific, don't sanitize): {paste_a_real_anecdote}
VENUE / AUDIENCE: {family_friendly? formal? rowdy?}
LENGTH: {target — usually 3-5 minutes}
MY COMFORT WITH HUMOR: {comfortable / nervous}
RULES:
- One real opening joke, not 'thanks for having me'.
- Use the specific anecdote — don't replace it with a generic template story.
- The funny parts must come from real details, not jokes-about-marriage cliches ('losing the remote', 'the wife is the boss', etc.).
- Land emotionally. The last 30 seconds should be sincere, not deflective.
- Mention the partner specifically and warmly. Don't make them an afterthought.
- End with a toast line that's actually a toast (raised glass), not a sermon.
Draft the full speech, then break down WHY each joke / beat works so I can rehearse with confidence.0 copies·0 saves·4 views

Sample output
Speech (~4 minutes when read aloud):
[Open] Before I start — yes, I know I'm tall, no, I don't play basketball, please stop asking me at the bar. I'm Maya. I've known Aanya since we were both 19 and we both bought the exact same secondhand couch from the exact same Craigslist guy in the same week. We've been laughing about it for 12 years and we still don't know how it happened.
[Specific anecdote] Aanya is the kind of friend who, when you call her at 2am and say 'I think I made a huge mistake', will ask exactly one question before she's already in an Uber. The huge mistake, by the way, was once that I'd dyed my hair pink during a breakup. She still made it to my apartment in 14 minutes. With a bottle of wine. Pre-judged.
[Pivot to partner — warmly specific] So when she introduced me to Vikram I was prepared to be skeptical. Aanya's threshold for nonsense is famously low. And then I watched him casually fix our broken thermostat at brunch in 4 minutes while quietly arguing with her about whether spiders have feelings. That was the moment I understood. He doesn't slow her down. He gives her room to be more of herself.
[Funny but warm — about the couple] You know what I love about these two? They are the only couple I know where one of them keeps a spreadsheet of which mug is whose, and the other one regularly puts that mug on a high shelf to mess with the spreadsheet. That's marriage. That's the whole thing.
[Land] Aanya, you have made my life louder, weirder, and a thousand times better. Vikram, thank you for marrying my best friend. And for putting up with the spreadsheet.
[Toast] To Aanya and Vikram — may you always have something stupid to argue about and someone to laugh about it with. Cheers.
